The materials
REBCO
A cuprate, rare-earth barium copper oxide, and the conductor the highest-field magnets are now wound from. It comes as coated tape rather than wire, which is part of its price.
Why rebco matters
It is the conductor most high-field magnet programs are built around today, and its price per kiloamp-meter is set by the tape process rather than by the compound.
